We need to be thinking more now about such a contingency. Postgres use 
in very large installations is now at such a level that requiring a 
pg_dump/pg_restore is really not an option for many users. If 
pg_migrator is not always going to work then we need to be addressing 
that now, or else it is at best a stop-gap. ISTM some sort of page 
layout versioning scheme might be at least part of what we'll need in 
the medium term.

cheers
